Renewable energy is regarded as clean
source of energy and the optimal use of this energy reduces environmental
impacts and does not emit any harmful particles. It is the best source of
energy based on today’s social and economic needs. The Sun is the greatest
source of energy. The primary sources of energy are light and heat. The rays of
Sun are absorbed and transformed by the environment in multiple ways. Some of these
transformation results in renewable energy sources such as biomass and wind
energy. Both these sources are regarded as renewable energy because they can be
used limitlessly.
Renewable energy provides an excellent
opportunity to mitigate the effects of greenhouse gases and reducing global
warming through substituting conventional sources of energy. Unlike
conventional sources of energy, renewable energy does not release any harmful
gases that adversely affect our environment. People basically generate grid
power from fossil fuels. But now with the growing awareness of people, they
have started concentrating on solar power system and wind turbines. The wind
turbines are placed on high tower so that it can capture as much wind as
possible. Basically, the turbine captures wind with the help of blades and a
low pressure is created below the blades that move the turbine which helps in
generating electricity.
Renewable energy can be produced locally
and therefore it is not vulnerable. Many of the safety concerns arise when you
are using fossil fuels such as explosion at oil refineries and collapsing of
coal mining etc which do not exist in case of renewable energy. The burning of
coal produce electricity and in that process it often discharges arsenic,
carbon di oxide, nitrogen oxide and mercury into the air. Gasoline and other
petroleum products also cause similar pollution. This type of pollution causes
respiratory illness as well as acid rains that partially damage the balance of
our environment and create global warming. Therefore, one should start using renewable source of energy in their day
to day work for ensuring the safety of our environment.
